Morrow throws one inning, says he is fine

Injured reliever Brandon Morrow, who hadn’t pitched in almost two weeks, threw one inning in a minor league game Sunday.

After his 12-pitch (seven strikes) scoreless inning, the Seattle reliever said his right shoulder felt fine. He had been held back by a biceps tendon problem, but should be ready to start the season in the Seattle bullpen next Monday.

”I was never worried,” Morrow said when asked if he’d be ready to start the season. ”I’ve had this problem before.”

He faced four batters on Milwaukee’s Double-A roster, all of them right-handed. That meant he threw just fastballs and sliders, because he usually saves his changeup for lefties.
